Who they are
Fred Matiang'i: Education CS 2015 to 2018. Interior CS 2018 to 2022. Jubilee leader. A technocratic, state-delivery style of governing with an order-first approach to security, which his campaign promises repeat. Most placements here are low confidence.
Millie Odhiambo: Suba North MP. National Assembly Minority Chief Whip. ODM. Insufficient evidence for a full placement. Her legislative record should be compiled next.
